|
Congratulations to Members Who Attended the Lindsay Maxwell Charitable Fund/USHJA Emerging Athletes Program! |
|
Annalise Manoog of Centerville, Massachusetts, was Reserve Champion!
“I had so much fun this week. I had a really good time being able to ride two really cool horses, two completely different rides than what I’m normally used to," she said. "I loved doing all of the seminars, not only the riding with Peter, but everything back in the barn with Colleen and all of the other different other clinicians that they brought in. I thought it was really special to learn so much in just a couple of days.”
